Thank you for your understand. It was very hard for me to make that decision.

I am aware of the issues for Bamboo touch. And I can remove the second
finger data.  But, I'd like to know what the community would like to
have for Bamboo - one finger only or a buggy two fingers.  TBH, I
don't have a hard deadline for Bamboo.

Even if we leave the code there, we could turn gesture off by default,
insetad of turn it on as it is now. Developers and testers can turn
the feature on when they need it.  What do you think?

That is my goal too.  But Bamboo touch is not exactly the same as TPC.
There are issues that is unique to Bamboo I can not see without
working on/testing it.

Thanks for your consideration.  I included Bamboo code without much
testing from my side was to preserve contributions, like yours, from
the community. It is a pain for me to see patches sumbitted without a
feedback. TPC and Bamboo will share many common features when time
comes. With your help, I am confident that we will be there.
